Content: I use this with a 3/4 HP Porter Cable AP300 Dust Collector.
That model of dust collector is rated at 500 CFM, which is used
with a trash can lid collector.
Most of the time, I work with red oak, white oak, and occasionally
hard maple. With those species, it usually works ok.
This weekend I used this with 300 bd ft of black walnut.
Some boards would plane just fine. Half the boards were 9
or 10 inches wide and would make these long thin curly
shavings that would plug this dust collector every pass,
even if I was removing 1/32 of an inch. I am not sure
whether the problem was with the dust collector, or with
this dust connector. The shavings would plug right at the
entry to this device. I suspect that this device was the
problem.
I really wish they had some sort of quick clamp to attach
this device to the planer. I would like to attach or remove
it in ten seconds instead of two or three minutes. When it
is working, you dont need to remove it. But when it does
not work, opening it to clear out those shavings is a bit
of a pain.
This device does hang down slightly into the outfeed path
by about 1/8 of an inch. So, each time a wider board comes
out of the machine, it bumps on this device. This device
does not attach extremely firmly. It sort of floats a bit
on the output, so this is not a big problem, but the float
means that we loose suction, and it makes it seem cheap.
Overall, it usually works. But this weekend, my setup did
not work. I think that this item was the problem, but it
just might have been insufficient CFM on the dust collector.
Summary: Not completely satisfied

Content: I'm surprised that so many reviewers think this is a good accessory. It's absolutely necessary, and every Delta planer owner needs one.... but it's a poor design. Boards hit it on the outfeed. You also can't lower the head all the way if you need to plane really thin stock - instrument makers beware! The other problem is that a standard 4" slip fit connector doesn't stay on well. This is only a problem if you move your dust collector hose from machine to machine. But, a lot of folks do that, and it's just absurd that this chute isn't correctly sized to fit well.
Finally, it's annoying that the dust chute isn't included with the machine. It's not really optional - you have to extract the chips from a planer, or the machine's rollers press the chips into the nicely planed surface of the wood.
I like the planer pretty well, and this thing is necessary.. but poorly executed.
Summary: Surprisingly poor

Content: Don't even think about buying the planer without the dust collector attachment! Without it you will have chips all over the floor and fine dust in the air. I hook up my planer to a 1 HP floor model dust collector and it works great with a 3" hose. I really doubt if it will work with a shop vac. The attachment is easy to mount and remove. You can't fold up the outfeed table with the attachment in place, but that's no big deal.
Summary: Must-Have Accessory for the Planer

Content: Pretty straight forward. It works. Not sure if you can realy go wrong on this one if you have the planner if fits, it works.

Content: I am very pleased with this dust chute. It does what it is supposed to do and I haven't had any problem with it clogging. I do recommend it to anyone who has the Delta 22-580 2 speed finish plainer and a dust collector to hook it to. I am a professional contractor and it works great for the work I do (I also custom build cabinets).
